In this section of the website, you can read about and see examples of how older people themselves can create reminiscence theatre. Supported by professional directors, they work together over a number of months to share their experience of a given topic and to process that experience into a shaped performance featuring individual stories, remembered songs and re-enactments of a shared past.
The results are performed to people of all generations and cultures, stimulating further exchange and discussion. The experience is invariably a positive one, creating a sense of friendship and joint enterprise and increasing the participants' sense of their own value.
